  • It turns out that empty distance code tables are not an error, and that
    a compressed block with only literals can validly have an empty table
    and should not be flagged as a data error.

    Some old versions of gzip had problems with this case, but it does not
    affect the zlib code in the kernel.

    Analysis and explanations thanks to Sergey Vlasov

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
